Brisk Pace, 8-10 miles. The ongoing, every Monday morning, almost all year 'round, Monday Morning fitness hike, where we try to work up a sweat exploring the sand roads and trails of Brendan Byrne State Forest. Be prepared to walk at an average of 3.5 mph, with few breaks. Bring water and wear well broken in boots, sneakers, or shoes (sneakers are adequate for dry conditions). Socks are also important foot gear; synthetics and wool being better at preventing blisters (avoid cotton socks).
Not for novice hikers. We maintain a brisk pace for the entire hike. There are no shortcuts or wimp-outs. Please, know your limits!
Hike is limited to paid OCSJ members. We leave on time.
